SYMBIS💗 Premarital/Marriage Assessment

Service Description

Are you engaged and seeking to see how compatible you and your fiancé really are? Are you married or remarried and struggling with some aspect of your marriage but either marriage counseling is not affordable or desirable for one of you? The SYMBIS💗 assessment will provide you with an opportunity to really communicate about your marital goals, desires and conflicts. • 76% of married couples say they wish they had pre-marriage education. • Couples who do not receive pre-marriage education are more likely to see their problems as atypical and unsolvable. • 41% of divorced couples say lack of pre-marriage preparation contributed to their divorce. Research conclusively shows that couples who succeed, gain the knowledge they need before they settle into destructive patterns that often lead to divorce and couples are 31% less likely to get divorced if they get some sort of pre-marriage training before they marry. Not only that, couples who participate in pre-marriage programs experience a 30% increase in marital success and fulfillment over those who do not participate. The SYMBIS assessment has been expanded to covered married couples also!! SYMBIS Assessment covers more than two-dozen particular dimensions based upon research studies for successful relationships. These include:• Marriage Mindset• Self-concept• Maturity• Independence• Longevity• Stability• Similarity• Stress• Psychological Caution Flags Cohabitation• Unrealistic Expectations• Baggage• Social Support• In-law Relationships• Cultural Context• Spiritual Beliefs• Finances• Role Expectations• Personality• Love• Sex• Attitudes & Happiness• Communication• Bridging the Gender Gap• Conflict Management• Spiritual Intimacy • Re-marriage & Blending a Family (if relevant). During my Masters Program in Human Services Counseling I became a Certified Facilitator in the SYMBIS Assessment Program. How it works: Your partner/spouse each take the on-line assessment separately (no sharing)! :) Once complete, your 15+ page comparison results will be sent directly to me. Over 2 consultations (approximately 90 minutes each) you and your partner will have the opportunity to discuss the results in a safe and completely confidential space. As your facilitator, I will help you drill down on issues of particular relevance to your relationship! Your investment in your Relationship - Assessment plus 2 consultations $195 (1/2 the cost of traditional therapy). Additional consultations ($65/hr.) as needed.
